This kind of poem can be written in  different ways, but the simplest form is to put the letters that spell your subject down the side of your page.  When you have done this then you go back to each letter and think of a word, phrase, or sentence that  starts with that letter and describes your subject. The following poems are examples of acrostic poems written in this format. The students used AppleWorks to compose their poems.\nHockey\nHockey is my favorite sport\u000bOn the ice or street\u000bCool and fun\u000bKeep on playing\u000bExercise and stronger\u000bYou should try\nby Justin\nBest Buds\nBest\u000bEverlasting\u000bSuper\u000bTrue\u000bBest friends\u000bUnforgettable\u000bDo not exclude\u000bSuper\nby Samara\nMothers\nMothers are really sweet and kind\u000bOnly the sweetest thing on earth\u000bThey love you like anything\u000bHave to work all day cleaning\u000bEasy to make them happy\u000bReally easy to give them... xoxo. \u000b(Mother)\nby Teshi\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.edu.pe.ca/stjean/playing%20with%20poetry/Hickey/acrostic.htm\" \u0014www.edu.pe.ca/stjean/playing%20with%20poetry/Hickey/acrostic.htm\u0015\nHow to Write Acrostic Poems   by Bruce Lansky (2002)\nAcrostic poems are easy to write, and some of the easiest acrostic poems use names. Try this exercise: Write your name vertically on a piece of paper or type it vertically on your computer. For this example, we'll pretend your name is Joe.\nNow think of a word or a phrase that describes you that begins with the letter J. Then think of a word or phrase that begins with O. Finally, think of a word or phrase that begins with E. Here's what your acrostic poem might look like:\nJoe\nJolly\u000bOutgoing\u000bExcellent\nAfter you've written an acrostic poem using your name, try writing poems with other words, such as \"football,\" \"horse,\" or \"summer.\" For a real challenge, see if you can make the acrostic poem tell a story rather than just describe the word you chose. These examples may get your creative juices flowing:\nGarbage\nGrounds (coffee)\u000bApple (core)\u000bRinds (melon)\u000bBanana (peel)\u000bAnchovies (from a pizza I wouldn't eat)\u000bGrapes (too ripe to eat)\u000bEmptying the stinking bag (my job)\nCandy\nCharleston Chew\u000bAlmond Roca\u000bNestle's Crunch\u000bDots from Mason\u000bYummy\nNotice that both of these poems tell a story. In the first, the speaker knows what's in the garbage bag because it's his duty to empty it when it's full. In the second, the speaker has candy on the brain and would spend his last quarter at a candy store or movie theatre.\nwww.gigglepoetry.com/poetryclass/acrostic.html","cbCaitI0PBQAEeLT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitI0PBQAEeLT","docx",14940,"English","# Acrostic Poetry Basics\n## Simple Structure and Method\n## Name-Based Acrostic Exercise\n## Making an Acrostic Tell a Story\n## Example Acrostic Poems","[{\"question\":\"What is the simplest way to write an acrostic poem?\",\"answer\":\"Write the letters that spell your subject vertically on the side of the page, then match each letter with a word, phrase, or sentence starting with that letter to describe the subject.\"},{\"question\":\"How can you create an acrostic poem using a person’s name?\",\"answer\":\"Write the name vertically, then for each letter create a descriptive word or phrase that begins with that letter, such as qualities associated with the person.\"},{\"question\":\"How do you make an acrostic poem tell a story instead of only describing a word?\",\"answer\":\"Choose a subject word and then craft each line so the sequence reveals actions, context, or progression, turning descriptions into a narrative.\"}]","How to Write Acrostic Poems - Acrostic Poetry Writing Guide | DOCX",1788325276]
